In honour of Infant Mental Health Awareness Week 2020, we interview Crystal Miles. Crystal originally trained as a Nutritional Therapist specialising in preconception and fertility health. After giving birth to her first child in 2010, she followed a further interest in all things birth and baby. A self-confessed course junkie, Crystal went on to train in Hypnobirthing, Lactation, Baby Massage and Baby Yoga, 3 Step Rewind, as a Doula and she is currently studying child psychology. Crystal now trains student Instructors on behalf of the International Association of Infant Massage and holds a special interest in attachment theory and Infant Mental Health.
In this episode we talk all things infant mental health, from attachment theory, slings and breastfeeding, to whether Cry It Out really is as detrimental to infant health as some say. We talk about how to manage challenging moments with our children and ways to heal birth trauma. It really was an episode that encompassed anything and everything babies and children and will be particularly of interest to parents or those wanting to become parents. Grandparents may also find listening to this insightful.
